How Short is Time

 

HOW SHORT IS TIME!  (Working Draft)



Once, he would lie enthralled

by his beloved’s sleeping form


now, when he visits her, he fears

that any present sleep

may also be the final one.


He knows that she deserves

 perpetual rest

that which her faith knows

as eternal life
